Starting as a Claims Trainee, Marybeth retired as a Director of Marketing in 2014. Marybeth faithfully attended Corpus Christi Roman Catholic Church in Chatham.

Marybeth taught us to enjoy life, to have fun, and how to love. A devoted mother, her three daughters were her greatest joy. She was friend to many as her unfailing support and encouragement could always be counted on. Her laugh and flair for storytelling were legendary. Her kindness knew no bounds. Marybeth touched and enriched everyone she met. Marybeth was predeceased by her father, Paul F. Murray and her mother Eileen Q. Murray. Surviving are her husband John of 24 years; 3 daughters, Lauren Elizabeth Brown (nee Boniface) and her husband Eric, Elizabeth Gervaise McKeown, and Margaret Elizabeth McKeown; her sisters Nancy Kegelman and husband Harry, Eileen Helfrich and husband Gregory, her brother Paul Murray and wife Margaret. She also cherished her nieces and nephews; Nancy, Harry, and Paul Kegelman, Gregory, Stephen, and Amanda Helfrich.

A heartfelt thanks to her many dear friends whose prayers and support meant everything to her.
